Background:
|
Proposed revised Administrative Policy 7.34, Final Examinations, and proposed revised Administrative Procedure 7.34 have been updated to reflect best practices in standards-based grading.
All students should have the opportunity to demonstrate their proficiency in course standards throughout the entire semester. Students who have not demonstrated proficiency in course standards by the end of the class should have an opportunity to demonstrate mastery of those standards. Likewise, students who are proficient need opportunity to excel and demonstrate an advanced level of learning.
This assessment may remain as an examination or be another appropriate activity such as a written, oral, comprehensive, and/or performance-based assessment to measure students’ learning in the designated standards. The major change in this policy is that a single examination will not be counted as 25 percent of a student’s grade, but will be included in the final course grade in the same manner as is the body of proficiency evidence recorded during the duration of the semester.
